WrestleRant Radio

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau open this week's WrestleRant Radio with a deep dive of the Vince McMahon allegations and the fallout, how it affects WWE going forward and why he should be held accountable for any other wrongdoing, why Brock Lesnar could very well be done with WWE for good, and Triple H's response to the situation at the Royal Rumble press conference and how it could have been handled better.

Speaking of the Royal Rumble, the two review this year's Rumble matches and if the delivered, the various surprises and if there enough of them, if Bayley and Cody Rhodes winning their respective Rumble matches was the right call and which champions they'll choose to challenge, the latest commentary shake-up for Raw and SmackDown, and CM Punk's terribly-timed injury causing a drastic change to WrestleMania 40 plans. What does this mean for his eventual return? Who does Seth Rollins defend the World Heavyweight Championship against now? And what will the rest of the card look like now?!

In an abbreviated on-site show from Tampa, Graham "GSM" Matthews flies solo hosting WrestleRant Radio breaking down the good, the bad and the ugly from the past week in WWE, including Raw heading to Netflix in early 2025 and what it means, The Rock's new role in WWE, Kazuchika Okada reportedly being WWE bound and why he's still likely end up in AEW, and all of the allegations surrounding Vince McMahon and why it means bad news for WWE if there isn't some serious change within the company's culture.

Plus, Royal Rumble predictions for tonight, including who will win the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches and punch their ticket to WrestleMania 40!

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau open this week's WrestleRant Radio with their thoughts on Nic Nemeth's TNA debut at last weekend's Hard to Kill pay-per-view before getting into Drew McIntyre confronting Cody Rhodes on Monday's Raw and if it was designed to set up a future feud between the two, who will be the final three in the men's Royal Rumble match, if DIY are gradually getting over with the audience and the issue with WWE's men's and women's tag team divisions on the whole, Gunther declaring for the Rumble and a possible WrestleMania match with Brock Lesnar, how to book the end of Gunther as Intercontinental Champion, and fantasy booking a Big E Rumble return.

The duo also discuss Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch being the 'Mania match for the Women's World Championship and the titles most likely to change hands at WrestleMania 40, the endgame with the R-Truth and Judgment Day storyline, Seth Rollins defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Jinder Mahal, what WWE could do in case Rollins is too injured to compete at 'Mania and how drastically it could affect plans for everyone else, and Cora Jade also suffering an injury at the worst possible time. Plus, quick thoughts on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, including The Young Bucks' first interview back and Hook challenging Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship!

This rare Friday edition of WrestleRant Radio features Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau delving into Roman Reigns' upcoming Undisputed WWE Universal Championship defense at the Royal Rumble and if he's in jeopardy of losing the title, why it would be asinine for him to not get pinned for it (or for Rock to become champ as some have suggested), if Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40 would feel rushed, Reigns reportedly not working Elimination Chamber and how that affects things.

They also have thoughts on newcomer Obi Femi winning the NXT North American Championship before getting into Tony Khan's Twitter meltdown from earlier in the week and why it's not a good look for AEW (even though what he said wasn't inaccurate). That leads into a discussion about Jinder Mahal getting a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity and why it isn't warranted, CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre and Rhea Ripley vs. Nia Jax being possible matches for Elimination Chamber and if Ripley will end up being the breakout babyface from The Judgment Day, the issue with Shinsuke Nakamura losing whenever it matters most, what the AEW World Championship match should be at Revolution and who should take the title from Samoa Joe, and the biggest issue with The Young Bucks being announced as Sting's final opponents.

The first WrestleRant Radio is nothing short of eventful as Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau immediately delve into all of the latest happenings in the wrestling world including this year's Money in the Bank event being announced for Toronto, fans getting falsely getting their hopes up for a WWE-TNA working relationship and if it's actually plausible, reports of Trinity/Naomi returning to WWE soon, if Mercedes Mone will follow suit and if AEW is a more likely landing spot for her.

They also have thoughts on Deonna Purrazzo declaring that she's "All Elite" and if she'll fare better in AEW than others have, Kevin Dunn shockingly retiring from WWE and if it will have any noticeable impact on the product, the Chris Jericho controversy from last weekend and if anything will come out of it, Andrade El Idolo's departure from AEW, if he'll be used better in WWE this time around and whether he should be paired with Zelina Vega or Charlotte Flair, thoughts from AEW Worlds End featuring Adam Cole being revealed as The Devil and Samoa Joe winning the AEW World Championship, and The Rock returning to Raw to tease facing Roman Reigns. Will they collide at Elimination Chamber or WrestleMania 40 at the expense of Cody Rhodes' story?

​Plus, the boys attempt to predict what they think will happen in WWE and AEW in 2024!

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau close out 2023 the same way they do every year: with the 11th-annnual WWE/AEW Year in Review Awards!

Graham "GSM" Matthews and RJ Marceau open the holiday edition of WrestleRant Radio going off on a tirade about the best movies they've seen in 2023 before getting into if Liv Morgan's recent arrest could affect her push upon returning to the ring and if she could be considered a frontrunner to win the women's Royal Rumble match, Carmelo Hayes' ceiling on WWE's main roster, why "dark" AJ Styles is a refreshing chance of pace for him, The Miz having one of his best matches in years against Gunther on Monday's Raw, Katana Chance and Kayden Carter capturing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship and why it might be short-lived, and who will eventually dethrone The Judgment Day as Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions.
